Obey Negative Campaign Continues

Continuing his negative campaign strategy, Obey apparently went on the radio and slammed President Bush.

It sounded like he was supporting the muted, but growing, Democrat calls to withdraw from Iraq immediately, though he voted against an immediate withdrawl. Obey's new reason, "no strategy to get out of Iraq will work." Of course, we know Obey voted against the infamous $87 billion to fund our troops in Iraq, but has also voted for other Iraq funding.

Obey's position is definitely negative and a bit confusing, but here's the question we ask, why doesn't Obey ever say, "here's my plan?" All he's done recently is talk about how bad Republican ideas are without offering any of his own. Analogies to baseball teams that moved from New York to San Francisco 50 years ago shouldn't be allowed to cut it from our Congressman. We deserve more. We deserve someone who has a positive plan for the future, not just someone who is constantly carping.

It's probably because he thinks we should get out of Iraq now and leave it to the terrorists, but the people of the Seventh District, whether they agreed with going into Iraq or not, want us to finish the job now that we're there. We agree.
